At the asylum centre in Wilhelmsburg in Germany, Albanians, who are the majority there, apparently took control of the showers and started charging the other "refugees" to use them. When Afghans refused to accept this, a confrontation began that became a pitched battle. There were reports that Afghans were threatened by an Albanian with a gun. When the police arrived, they searched for this gun, even using sniffer dogs, but couldn't find it.
